‘I cannot believe I had to wait until the age of seventy before I could read this incredible book! I hope it becomes compulsory reading for every girl on the planet by the age of twelve, so they can have this knowledge and wisdom right from the beginning. This book creates the most perfect stone bridge for all women. Anne’s brilliance, wisdom and understanding shimmers through each sentence. I wish my mother could have read this and I hope all our daughters will read it.’

Melissie Jolly, Founder of Colour Mirrors

‘This book will resonate with professional women and is a must read for those who want to regain their female power. I am astonished at how this book resonated with me and my experiences. This book enabled me to understand why I have been held back and what was the root cause. Anne, through her engaging writing style, has made me think that at times she is speaking to me directly, so much so that I thought I was having a one-to-one consultation with her! This book is rich in experiences. There are plenty of exercises and advice which will help you to reactivate your female power. This is a fabulous book if you truly want to find your real self, and regain confidence and self-esteem.’

Barbara Bogusz, University Lecturer in Law

‘The reality is that both women and men are seeking a softer feminine power to lead their communities, corporations and countries. This book is arriving at a crucial time when we desperately need to find out how to let go of the old ways, where all we knew was based on patriarchal systems encoded into our psyche. This book suggests gentle, graceful ways to free ourselves from the past and, instead of being angry, move forward knowing how to be authentically and genuinely empowered for success.’

Moira Bush, host of The Magenta Show

‘This is the book of all books for professional women who have been impacted by multiple generations of patriarchy. Anne valiantly dismantles our patriarchal systems, ideologies and beliefs, to expose women to the truth of their innate power and potential, without defaulting to masculinised skills in order to be considered equal. Her revolutionary findings, and personal experiences, reveal the underlying male dominance and excessive female subordination in the workforce, particularly among those women seeking to ascend the ladder while maintaining work–life balance. Women who read this book have the inside track to effecting transformation and breaking the dysfunctional power cycle between the sexes.’

Sophia Marsh-Ochsner, marketing agency owner and success coach

‘It is a rare gift to write well about our innermost feelings and what holds us back. Through reading this book I have been captivated and encouraged to start my own journey to empowerment. Thank you, Anne, for sharing your wisdom and guidance. I urge anyone to forget anything else on the subject and grab a copy of this book. I absolutely love it!’

Sally Barnett, Barrister and Head of Chambers
